Big Sad

G       D/F# 
I cannot speed it up 
   A            Em 
But I can slow it down 
G          D/F#           A 
The pace at which I let it all spill out 
G         D/F# 
I am staring at the exit 
A                Em 
I know the pathway to the door 
G         D/F#       A 
But everybody knows I love a detour 

   G      D/F# 
I'm throwing tantrums 
   G                   Em    A  G 
I'm picking fights with everyone I love 

G      D/F#      Em       A 
It's becoming clearer and clearer 
G       D/F#                      Em    A 
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder 
               G        D/F# 
It's becoming clearer and clearer 
       Em                  A 
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder 

G         D/F#                 A 
I liked it when I slammed the car door in your 
Em 
Face 
G       D/F# 
I stood up our best friends 
  A               A 
And left you there to explain 
G          D/F#       A               Em 
There is no dignity in self-selecting out of love 
G                  D/F# 
But I swear it's the only option 
     A                   A 
The moment the sadness comes 

     G      D/F# 
I'm throwing tantrums 
    G                   Em    A    G 
I'm picking fights with everyone I love 

G      D/F#       Em        A 
It's becoming clearer and clearer 
G       D/F#                      Em    A 
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder 
               G         D/F# 
It's becoming clearer and clearer 
       Em              A 
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder 

G     D             A               A 
Choosing the small sad for longer does no favors 
G     D               A              A 
Choosing the big sad for shorter sucks on paper 
  G        D/F#         Em 
Then I lay with you, tell the truth 
        A 
'Til I'm ugly crying 
G       D/F#              Em             A 
That didn't help to call myself 'ugly' while I'm crying 
G        D/F# 
I'm pretty, I'm brave 
Em             D/F#       A     G 
And I did the best that I could today 
               G       D/F# 
It's becoming clearer and clearer 
          Em               A 
Avoiding a hard thing is actually harder
